Abstract: Methods and systems for network-based user authentication are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided that include receiving a request to connect to a local network. The request may be received from a user device and may include a user device identifier. The method may then include allowing the user device to connect to the local network and create a partial identity of a user of the user device. The partial identity may include a plurality of identification factors associated with the user. The method may then include monitoring network activities of the user device and updating the partial identity based on the monitored network activities.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing user privacy information in a distributed fashion are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided that may include receiving an identity with device information that is less sensitive and user information that is more sensitive. The user information may then be encrypted and stored on a repository, and indications of the encrypted device information and the encrypted user information may be stored on a distributed ledger. The method may further include enforcing a first access policy on the encrypted device information and a second access policy on encrypted user information.
